So, hot on the heels of our packshot unveil last week (included below for those of you that may have missed it) – we wanted to give you a peek at the Resistance 3 pre-order bonuses available across PAL – as well as a first look at our Special Edition and Survivor Edition game bundles!

However, before we go into the details, I wanted to give you a release date!

I’m very pleased to confirm that Resistance 3 will be launching across PAL on the following dates:

UK & Ireland: 9th September

Rest of PAL: 7th September

(now you know when you need to book off work!) π

So with that, we move onto the pre-order bonus items. Please note for all of the below content, availability will vary depending on your locale and retailer.

PRE-ORDER BONUSES

SRPA Black Ops skin

Once a common sight in the war against the Chimera, this special SRPA Black Ops multiplayer skin lets you return to the battlefield as one of the most mysterious and deadly soldiers from Resistance 2 and Resistance: Fall of Man.

Infected Nathan Hale skin

By skipping his viral inhibitor treatment throughout Resistance 2, Nathan Hale fell victim to the deadly Chimera virus. Now you can resurrect the fallen hero with this special multiplayer character skin.

Air Fuel grenade

Equip Joseph Capelli with an explosive advantage as he embarks on his journey across America. This exclusive grenade releases a cloud of highly flammable vapour, creating a huge blast when ignited – perfect for taking out hordes of Chimera in tight urban spaces.

Special multiplayer title: “Sentinel”

Pledge your allegiance to the elite unit of the SRPA – the Sentinels – with this multiplayer title, exclusive to pre-order customers.

Multiplayer booster

Get an early advantage on the multiplayer battlefield by starting the fight at level 5 – and gain access to a range of character and weapon customisation options.

Chimera tooth necklace

Show your support for the resistance by wearing Joseph Capelli’s Chimera tooth necklace.

RESISTANCE 3 SPECIAL EDITION

Next up we have the Resistance 3 Special Edition. This version of the game comes in a stunning steelbook case – packed with a voucher code for all of the pre-order items listed above.

Not only will this look awesome on your shelf, (the array of logos are on a perspex o-ring which you can remove) but this version will also come complete with a very cool ‘vinyl effect’ blu-ray disc (complete with the ribbed vinyl effect on the surface).

RESISTANCE 3 SURVIVOR EDITION

Now last, but by no means least, we have the Resistance 3 Survivor Edition! This uber-bundle comes complete with the following content (as well as the Special Edition pack listed above):

Canvas satchel

Capelli’s rugged and reliable satchel, ideal for long journeys across the ravaged American landscape.

Play out the battle on a small scale with these toy soldiers depicting Joseph Capelli and Chimera fighters.

Joseph Capelli’s Journal

Read Capelli’s notes on the journey ahead of him, the enemies he’ll face and the weapons he’ll use – and start writing your own story as you fight the Chimera.

SRPA hip flask

Keep the cold at bay or give yourself the courage to fight on with this standard issue SRPA soldier’s hip flask.

SRPA playing cards

Pass the time between battles with this deck of SRPA soldier’s playing cards.

Here’s a visual for you to check out.

We’ll update with new images of the Survivor Edition (and its content) in due course – my personal favorite are the scarily cute Chimera toy soldiers – in the mean time though, hit me up in the comments below if you have any questions.

There will be other ways for you to get the cover art π
Also – I know a lot of you wanted to be able to have the cover without all of the logos (PEGI, SCE, PSN lozenge etc) on it – so the reverse of the inlay will be a clean version that you can swap around

This special edition has gone from “Which game do I get the biggest edition of?” into “Which bag do I prefer?”
inFamous 2 comes with Cole’s bag, and R3 comes with Capelli’s satchel. When you put Catherine’s free boxers and pillow case into the mix, I’ll never have to go shopping anywhere but game stores ever again.

have you ever thought about stopping this Pre-Order nonsense in order to give every single one of your customers the exact same content? What’s the reason that someone who buys the game on day 1 will not get the same content as some other person who buys it on the same day but pre-ordered it a while ago? You create these bonuses to please GameStop & partners but talk about how evil used game sales are when it’s exactly those places who make the majority of their money by selling used games. Who is the suffering one in both cases? The consumer. The consumer is always the one who gets screwed, always.

this looks freaking awesome. but I’m kinda worried that the survivor edition could cost WAY too much for me (but I realy realy want some of those extra stuff)…..DAM YOU FOR MAKING SUCH AWESOME STUFF >.<

Neither the artwork nor the Special Editions have done anything to increase my enthusiasm for the game.

Loved the first game, spent countless hours online with it. Hated the second game, have never played it through again and the online is pretty much untouched.

Plus, for me, Insomniac have been on a downward spiral since just after the first PS3 Ratchet & Clank game. I’ll be keeping an eye on reviews, but I’m not interested in pre-ordering this; may not even buy it at all.

I wish the Chimeran tooth necklace was a replica instead of digital item. Otherwise it’s a fantastic set, which I’ll definitely be picking up. The shooting range poster and journal both look brilliant.
